In rare instances, it may refer to a portion or draught to be drunk—that is, the amount to be consumed at one time.

| Rationale | Context calls for the gerund form 'drinking' (the act), not the prepositional phrase 'in drinking.' One-to-one mapping and idiomatic English both support this change. |
